“Princess Pirate” by Patience Brantley

Submitted to Contest #8

As my eyes flicker open, I begin to cough excessively.“Cap, she’s awake!” A dark blur in front of me moves close. I attempt an escape by back crawling, but my hands begin to sting. I look down and see them covered in cuts and blisters. I move away from the salty sea, wiping my hands on my, sand sprinkled, plain colored dress.“Ah finally! Good morn’ Princess, come on with us!” Porina, their captain I meant briefly on the ship, before being thrown into a dark cell, demands. “Get away from me!” I hiss, as a familiar women hovers above me. “Why ...

“... Let's Go Exploring!” by Jared Smithofjared@yahoo.com

Submitted to Contest #8

The USS Watterson lay in utter ruin. Rubber shreds, tangled amongst sandy sticks and pebbles littered the beach as the lapping tide nibbled them into its silty depths. The Captain was unconscious, face down in the damp grit of the shore. His eyes fluttered, then opened. Desolation lay about him and his lungs burst with pain as his breath stretched full once again. He sat up, eyeing the wreckage. “Avast,” he muttered, salty air chafing his lungs. “How long have I been out here?” No one answered, of course. He was the last of his s...

“The Isle Of Hurihuri” by Emerson Sylvestre

Submitted to Contest #8

Heather - Part 1 These last few weeks have sucked. Ever since the drinking incident I’ve been grounded. I always go on a trip with my friends but even after a week of begging, my parents hadn’t changed their minds, I’m still grounded... So I invited some random people from school, so I wouldn't seem like some kind of loner with no friends. Plus, mom and dad would pound more dance on me if I didn’t go anyways. Which I do not want. José, my chaperone, stops the car near the yacht dock, I turn to him and say, “thanks.” As my ‘friends’ are...

“We will go down with this ship.” by Mairead Rodgers

Submitted to Contest #8

I’m almost positive we’re going to die here. Our sailing boat hit a reef some two kilometres out at sea and capsized. We spent approximately two hours trying and failing to right it once more but its wooden frame stayed stubbornly upturned, gently swaying in the waves. It wasn’t even our ship; it was belonged to a friend of John’s father — a pompous, wealthy politician no doubt. It had taken us some three weeks of pleading and promises of repayment in the form of painting the bungalow flat in the back garden to even be awarded permission to ...

“Paradise Island” by Amna Nawaid

Submitted to Contest #8

The sky was overcast. His ears boomed with deafening thunder. Lightning blinded his eyes. The fierce wind whipped his face red. The ship rocked on the turbulent and angry waves. It seemed like the end of the world was upon them and the rage of the ocean would surely consume the entire world. Only a fool would leave the safety of his home to sail these stormy waters.But they would not, no, could not give up, Luke thought to himself. A lot was depending on their vent...

“Alone” by Marcial John Macaoay

Submitted to Contest #8

It was a hot, sunny day. The waves were shallow. There was a slight breeze. It was a quiet, peaceful day. But he was alone. His name was Lok.Lok slowly walked to the palm tree in the middle of it all. And scratched a tally. That would make it 15 days. There was a rustle in the sand below him. Then something popped out. Lok exclaims,”Hey bud, how did you sleep?” Lok was speaking to a crab he met two days ago. He named it Crabby. He just scurried away. Lok sighed. He looked out towards the horizon. Searching for something, anything. But there ...

“Cobalt Isle” by Alannah Norton

Submitted to Contest #8

Cobalt Isle could have never really been considered an Isle at all. It barely functions as a harbor for passing ships to drop off tourists. It’s more of the symbolism of what Cobalt Isle could really be, it could be a functioning port, a functioning sleepy town where normalcy is only dictated by the way you walk and talk. Cobalt Isle could be a lot of things but it would never be his home. The only home Kip was ever interested in was the den of his ‘brothers’. They called themselves the Cobalt Ban...

“Shipwrecked” by Jessica Wheeler

Submitted to Contest #8

Waves crash violently against the sailboat as lightning strikes the raging sea, lighting up the night sky. The boat continues to rock back and forth violently. The two passengers on board hold onto whatever they can find, fighting for their life. Water fills the boat threatening to sink the boat and drown the couple. After putting up quite a fight, the sailboat topples over and starts to drown. They are now on their own in the middle of the sea with no shred of hope left. Their hands are tightly intertwined, but a huge wave tears them ...
